He’s going to GS per Shams.
Excluding Wemby, I give the Spurs a B+/A- for this draft tbh. Got two more seconds while getting an interesting two-way player. Some players fell that would've been interesting but overall they keep max flexibility and add more assets. That being said, they gotta start consolidating these picks soon.
dammit, the warriors can now move on from Green. TJD will be his immediate replacement and a lot less of a headache.
All this is so confusing.
That's a perfect spot for him. He can set screens and roll and is a great facilitator.
If I agreed that they wouldn't contend with him, I'd answer your question.
Agree. Still have lots of opportunities. Going into the free agent period, as well as having some tradeable assets going into the season.
I still give the draft an A+++ cause we got a generational talent and that far outweighs whatever #33 might have been.
excluding wemby, i give them no better than a D+ or C-
cissoko dart throw at 44 is fine
but not moving up despite all the smoke that they wanted to do so? especially when it didnt seem all that hard to move up. the mavs literally bought the #24 overall pick just by taking on a richaun holmes contract. and thats still a net savings from them considering they were able to dump bertans. they moved back and got lively, and used the asset from moving back (trade exception) get get back into the first and take prosper.
we saw the cost to move from 31 to 25 was two 2nd rounders. there clearly was an ability for us to move up and nab a difference making guard. didnt do that, fine. but then... piss away a very high 2nd rounder for what, 2 future 2nd rounders in drafts that might not have this kind of depth and probably wont be as high in the draft as this one? just absurdity. we need to be consolidating our stockpile of picks, not piling onto it. we're gonne probably end up selling at least 4-5 of our second rounders for cash
Guys, we got at 44 the tier of player we could have had at 33.
Spurs controlled their destiny in the 2nd round. Nothing was taken from them once the 2nd round started. They held a selection position with tons of good stuff available and decided not to proceed. All choice no robbery.
I do wonder however if Strawther was the Spurs 33 target because that phone to Minny dialed out pretty quick right about the same time Straw went late first.
Perhaps, but Colby Jones, Leonard Miller, Amari Bailey, Tristan Vukcevic, and Rayan Rupert were all available at 33 but not 44.
The Sidy interest was reported an hour before the draft. Plus the agent connection he was going to be the pick at 44 from the start.
Spare a thought for Hornets fans right now. They're doing it tough.
And why were all these guys still available at 33? Why was Rupert still available at 43? Who tagged them as interesting targets for the spurs? I mean besides ST.
Only Colby Jones seems like an outlier. And the team seems to value upshot value in Cissoko more than a ready made player.
Leonard Miller has talent but has a ways to go and his defensive metrics are really bad.
Vukcevic just shoots. He's good at it, but that's it. We have Mamukelashvili who does far more.
Rupert. He has the same niche and basically the same build as Blake Wesley and he's behind him in offensive skill. Cissoko is the better pick.
Btw Dejounte my man, bring your ass here and tell me again how Rupert is a better prospect than Bilal
I wish they would move Green; it would make them less insufferable to watch but I don't think they will.
If the Spurs had take Cissoko at 33 and traded 44 for cash, no one here would have an issue. Funny how that works sometimes.
Fact is we got the best player, added assets, and added another development prospect, and didn’t negatively impact our flexibility going forward. Firm handshakes all around.
Why? They already have Melo who will be great with Miller. Scoot would be redundant, likewise Amen and he can’t shoot. Miller is the right pick for Hornets.Spare a thought for Hornets fans right now. They're doing it tough.
Source?
Supposedly Pop had a press conference after the pick was announced. Anyone have a link to a link for that?
Love Cissoko!
Thank you kind sir!
Spurs weren't high on anyone in the second round even Cissoko. If they were high on Cissoko they would have picked him at 33. They had to draft someone and he was the best option that fell to 44.
Let's not pretend it was some genius move and Cissoko was the guy they wanted all along and they knew they could get him at 44.
